Sažetak
Previous research suggests that women and men experience their leisure time (i.e. time not committed to the labour force, domestic caregiving or personal care) differently (Bianchi 2003 ; Firestone and Shelton. 1994). The ways in which women and men use leisure time in their everyday lives provide an insight into the meaning of gender in any given cultural context. Studies worldwide have confirmed that a gender gap in leisure time use exists (Hochschild and Machung 1989 ; Sayer 2005 ; Thrane 2000) even though both women’s and men’s lives may be enriched through opportunity for leisure. In this presentation, we would like to examine the organisation of time in the domains of leisure and its gender dimensions. To determine whether social characteristics, family and employment account for considerable variation in leisure time we will also consider different types of individuals and contexts (e.g., single, married, employed, with or without children). Apart from gender differences, we will also investigate whether there are regional differences (e.g., between Mediterranean and Continental Croatia) in leisure time use. These findings are based on the results of a nationally representative survey of men and women in Croatia conducted in 2017 that is part of a Croatian Science Foundation funded project on relational gender identities (GENMOD - HRZZ 6010). It is envisaged that these survey findings will contribute to an explanation of the forces that result in the gendered allocation of leisure time.
